The components are good but no big dollars chasing them.
I am not so sure there is that active an Asian market, I bought a '72 small Super for less with full Campagnolo on ebay not too long ago.
I think timing counts on these bicycles.
When I sold my last 81 Super, two fellows had a bit of a price/bidding war.
It went into four digits and I was a little surprised, as it wasn't nearly as nice as the one I sold to a forum member here.
Yet the money that was exchanged was similar.
Hmmmm, maybe I didn't charge the forum member enough.
Oh well, they are all happy with their Supers.
